Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Jun 6, 2014 at 11:47 PM Post #17,956 of 46,507
  Newb question: How's the stock cable? I was considering ordering a Norne Audio cable (to match my other two headphones). Does the HD650 benefit from a silver cable due to it's alleged darker signature? How're the aesthetics?

 
The stock HD650 cable is just fine. And I came from HD600 with Cardas.

? What are some more popular cables with the 650 (if any)?

I wanted a shorter cable, got one in an auction $30, silver plated OFC in clear teflon, it, as tight twisted pair, shows in it's shininess from the alloy Y to the phones, from the Y to the (3.5 screws into 6.5) plug it has shiny black braid covering. Makes me happy .

But then I'd get my car back... And my girl... And my dog...


You guys make both kinds of music down there, right?

But you might get to keep the double wide:blush:, but don't stereotype us, the Guys from Kings of Leon live down the street and we do have a bit of rock and indie folk around here.

Country AND western.:D


Do like the music scene in Austin a bit better ( it's the Capitol of Texas, you fly near it on your way to L.A. ) :stuck_out_tongue:

I think someone should take notice and start making cheaper aftermarket cables. They would fly like hot pies... (and still make a ton of profit).
I'm personally not ready to pay 300$ for aesthetics alone. Something under 100$ maybe.

I like my Milian Acoustics Cable, fairly priced, well made and sounds great.

I priced out a Norne cable that goes for ~$140 (Skoll Series, HD650) without a ton of options (1/4", no splitter). I have one for my HE500 and it is the best cable I've ever had easily. I also have a higher end Vanquish cable for my LFF Engima. Check them out and email Trevor if you're interested (www.norneaudio.com).
